Though penalised for a victory at Sedgefield nine days ago, Tayzar is on a hat-trick so much respected. Fricka was only fourth of five at Huntingdon but still has every chance approaching the last. Break The Rules and Bartholomew J have already won this season and are still at the right end of the handicap but CARYS’ COMMODITY, a maiden winner at Catterick at the start of the year, wasn’t unduly punished on his handicap debut at Cartmel in August and probably has the most scope for improvement.
